(a)[2]
State what the binding energy of a nucleus means.
(b)[3]
Show that $1.0\,\text{u}$ is equivalent in energy to $930\,\text{MeV}$.
(c(i))[2]
The masses of some particles and nuclei are listed in Fig. 8.1. Use the data in Fig. 8.1 together with the information from part (b) to determine the binding energy of deuterium, in $\text{MeV}$.
(c(ii))[3]
